ONLINE ONLY: Man's best friend?

By Alyson Brodsy and Jessica Simendinger · Monday, Oct. 16,2006 10:57 p.m.

I don't like animals. OK, I said it. I confess, I don't like them, not one bit. This isn't to say I hate animals. I have befriended a handful or two in my lifetime, and I don't wish death upon all your pets or anything. That said, I won't apologize for eating meat, and the only thing stopping me from buying a fabulous fur coat is my tragically empty wallet. More than these, though, I can't get it up for your pet just because it is an animal. Pet things I abhor:

We're so vain

Monday, Oct. 16,2006 10:53 p.m.

We bet you think this column is about you, don't you? Don't you? If you're reading this (and you're not Koko the gorilla), we'd be willing to bet you're a human being, a Homo sapien. One of several billion identical members of a species with two eyes, a nose and a mouth. Congratulations. With this in mind, what makes you (or us) any more special than anyone else? Not a thing.

Mistaken menace

By Alyson Brodsy and Kirk Nathanson · Monday, Oct. 16,2006 10:50 p.m.

There are many places I'd like to visit: Kodiak, Alaska, for instance. Or the Ganges and the Pyramids. Then I saw a "Discover Nebraska" advertisement on television and got to thinking of the places I'd avoid for the rest of my life. North Korea, for instance, and Burma with its military junta are at the very bottom of my very long list. I'd also be perfectly content staying the hell away from Baghdad -- even if it meant touring downtown Omaha.

China inspects North Korean cargo, while Japan mulls new sanctions sanctions

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Oct. 16,2006 10:16 p.m.

SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea appeared to slip further into isolation Monday, as China -- under intense pressure to enforce new U.N. sanctions -- inspected cargo trucks bound for its communist ally and stepped up construction of a border fence. Japan -- once a major trading partner with North Korea -- said it was considering further sanctions, and Australia banned the North's ships from its ports.
